What to do and where to go here in Santiago!

I think that Santiago is not the perfect city for tourism, I prefer other cities in Chile, but there are some places that a foreigner tourist can visit here in the main city. Here I give you a few tips!
In first place I think that Bellas Artes neighbour is a great place where you can enjoy with friends and have a great time. This place is great because you can do many things there. If you want to see some art you can go to Bellas Artes Museum, if you want to walk by a huge park you can walk by “el parque forestal”, if you’re hungry you can go to one of the many cafés that this place has and if you want to eat different flavors of ice cream like roses you can go to “emporio la rosa”.
In second place, you can go to “La Moneda” if you want to know a little about our history of our culture.
In third place, I think that hills of Santiago such as San Cristóbal and Santa Lucía are very nice and I think they are a great place to enjoy a little of “fresh air”.
In fourth place, if you’re a woman probably love this place because there you can buy so many clothes, there are so many places and what they sell is so cheap! I’m talking about Patronato but if you go there be careful with the “flytes”.
And last but not least, if you want to party Santiago has so many different discos to choose and there you can dance until you’re dead.
Well, that’s all, enjoy our main city!

Sybil, a great movie to see in this holidays!

How would you feel if sometimes you wake up in some places and you don’t know how did you get there? How would you feel if you after being in therapy your doctor tell you that you have 16 personalities living inside you? Well that’s the story of Sybil, the main character of the movie with the same name.
This movie was based on a real history about one of the most famous cases in dissociative identity disorder in the world.
What I like the most of the movie was everything because that disorder is one of my favorites in psychopathology. The main actress performed her role very well. The film was released on 1976 and it’s still great in spite of the three hours that it last!
Sybil was the main character, she was an art teacher. She has 16 personalities living inside her and the worst was that she didn’t know that she had that disorder. The second main character was her therapist Dr. Cornelia Wilbur; she was a Freudian psychiatrist that helped Sybil to reintegrate her personalities in one.
Well, I saw the movie alone in my house and I really enjoy it. It was really amazing and I’m waiting to see the remake in holidays, but I really recommend the 1976 version because it was the original and it has the mystery from old movies that makes them great.
